How much does it cost to scan the entire PHP codebase with AI?
@gregxsunday tested 6 frontier models and calculated the projected cost of a full scan based on our results.
The cheapest: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at ~$800.
The most expensive: Claude Opus 5.5 at ~$18,200.
That's over a 22x difference for a single scan.
Full breakdown in our recent article.
.@gregxsunday tested 6 AI models on PHP2Shell.
GPT-5.6 Sol: 11.7 findings, 1 related ($23.63/run)
Gemini 4 Argon: 5.3 findings, 1.3 related ($14.06/run)
Opus 5.5: 0 related ($33.87/run)
Estimated cost to scan the entire PHP codebase - $800-$18,200.

Last week's PHP2Shell vulnerability was discovered through OpenAI's Patch the Planet initiative.
But can you really find critical bugs just by asking an LLM?
We tested six frontier models on vulnerable PHP code to see what they'd catch and at what cost. https://t.co/e7lD6p6xCK
GLM 5.3 is dangerous... dangerously good for cybersecurity; great at reversing, finding bugs, and creating exploits
This is why we are giving it away for free to the security community! No guardrails, no refusals

@gregxsunday tested Jev on 31 real vulnerability reports before we considered using it inside VIDOC.
He compared it with 7 other models to see whether the speed and low cost were worth the trade-off in accuracy.

Our harness discovered multiple 0-days in networking stack of Linux Kernel (using publicly accessible LLMs)
This is one of many CVEs to come
Thank you @GuanniQu for great collaboration!!
